Join us for an exclusive walkthrough of Alice Tippit: Rose Obsolete with the artist herself. Tippit’s paintings and works on paper generate multiple layers of meaning through poetic techniques like metaphor, serving as indirect references rather than clear, straightforward representations, exploring, in turn, the differences between “looking” and “seeing.”

Join us for an exclusive walkthrough of Alice Tippit: Rose Obsolete with the artist herself. Tippit’s paintings and works on paper generate multiple layers of meaning through poetic techniques like metaphor, serving as indirect references rather than clear, straightforward representations, exploring, in turn, the differences between “looking” and “seeing.” Her images float between the familiar and the enigmatic––recognizable forms and shapes are removed from any clear context or obvious meaning. The walkthrough will feature exclusive insight into the exhibition from the artist and Curator, Ionit Behar, followed by an audience Q&A.

DPAM invites you to an evening with the House of Dov. The Chicago-based dance company will be performing its new sketch, Three Generations of Women, in conjunction with Barbara Nessim’s work on view in our galleries. Choreographed by Drew Lewis, this movement study, made in reverence to the lineage of women in Lewis’ family, explores the paradoxical ways in which the artist feels both included in and excluded from the nesting doll of womanhood. Three Generations of Women is a portrait, wrapping itself in ancestry, in things handed down: stories, artifacts, and genes.
